A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §609

Annotatio IV §.XXII: POSTERIOR exposition preferred by most — Forbes Fathers; Patrick/Wachter few on prior

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

POSTERIOR exposition sits nearer Forbes’s Fathers. Fewer Reformed hold the prior — among newer English, Patrick’s Mensa mystica; among Germans, Wachter.

Both so urge spirituality that they expressly put Christ’s Spirit in place of His body. Most Reformeds follow the posterior exposition.

Latin

POSTERIORI verò Expositioni ex Veteris Ecclesiæ Patribus propius accedunt à Guilielmo Forbesio allegati… PRIORI Expositioni ex Reformatis pauciores adstipulantur; Ex Neotericis Anglis vide fis Simonem Patrick, in Mensa mystica… Ex Germanis, Virum Clariss. Johann. Georg Wachterum… Horum uterque SPIRITUALITATEM corporis Christi in S. Cœna adeò urget, ut in locum corporis Christi, Spiritum ejus expressè substituere deprehendatur. POSTERIOREM expositionem plerique sequuntur.
